II. PROCESS IV DECISION REQUESTED
The applicant is requesting to intrude into the 100-foot major stream buffer of Hylebos Creek for
development of a new vehicle service facility yard. Development for this project will include one,
5,710 square -foot building consisting of a garage and office facility. A separate 768 square -foot
garage storage building is proposed to be constructed in the northeast corner of the subject property.
Additionally' the proposal calls for the construction of 20 parking stalls and a parking area for the
storage of towed vehicles. The office/garage building, the garage storage building, and associated
site improvements lay within the 100-foot stream buffer created by the Hylebos Creek (a major
stream) that runs north/south on an adjacent property to the east. The applicant proposes to intrude
into the stream setback by as much as. 50 feet.
In order to mitigate for the intrusion into the stream buffer, the applicant proposes enhancements of
the stream banks and surrounding areas. Mitigation efforts will include the removal of invasive
species (such'as blackberry) and the planting of native vegetation in conjunction with existing
vegetation. The goal of the native vegetation is to produce a dense habitat for ground and avian
species, shade the existing stream, improve water quality, and improve the buffer function.
The project site plan (Exhibits B and C) shows the proposed new structures and improvements in
relationship with the 100-foot stream buffer.
Pursuant to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, Article XIV, "Critical Areas," and FWCC
Chapter 22, Article VII, "Process IV Review, Hearing Examiner's Decision," the requested stream
buffer intrusion and steep slope setback intrusion are subject to Process IV review and a public
hearing and decision by the Hearing Examiner.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), the City issued a Determination of
Nonsignificance (Exhibit F) for the proposed action on December 26, 2006. During the public
comment period on the Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS), no comments were received by the
City.
IV. COMMENTS RECEIVED ON APPLICATION
No comments have been received on the application.
V. KEY ELEMENTS OF .DEVELOPMENT PLAN
As context for the Process IV request, the following is an outline of the key elements of the overall
site plan for the project (Exhibits B and C):
• Site clearing and grading;
• Construction of a 5,710 square -foot building consisting of a garage. and office facility;

VI. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SITE AND VICINITY
The subject property (Parcel #768190-0030) is a vacant commercial property located at the end of
13`h.Place South, in Federal Way, WA. Zoning for this property is BC (Community Business), and
has access to public sewer, water, and is accessed by a paved street off of 13t' Place South. The
subject property is 1.23 acres (53,578.8 square feet). The highest elevation on the parcel lies within
the northeast quadrant and gradually slopes in a southwesterly direction. The greatest slopes exist on
the eastern adjacent property in the northeast quadrant of the subject property.
A major stream (Hylebos Creek), as identified by Genesis Resource Consulting, flows to the east of
the property on the adjacent parcel. The stream flows in a north/south direction. At the closest point,
the stream's ordinary high water mark (OH)AM) is 10 feet from the subject property's eastern
property line, and at the furthest point, 40 feet from the subject property's eastern property line. The
100-foot buffer from the stream cuts into approximately the eastern 1/3 of the subject property.
Detailed discussion regarding the site characteristics including the off -site stream are contained in
the October 3, 2005, Fife Service and Towing Environmental Review Report as prepared by Genesis
Resource Consulting (Exhibit D) and a follow up report stamped "Resubmitted" by the City of
Federal Way on February 5, 2007 (Exhibit E).
VII. DESCRIPTION OF CRITICAL AREAS
The Hylebos Creek stream channel is present in a ravine directly east of the subject property. The
stream meets the definition of a major stream because it is tributary to water that supports both
resident and migratory fish. The applicant's stream biologist (Genesis Resource Consulting) has
stated that a 16% gradient exists in the stream, which creates a natural permanent blockage on the
stream course, which precludes the upstream movement of anadromous salmonid fish. However, no
supporting documentation nor evidence has been presented to the city in regards to the location and
expanse of the gradient. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1306, major streams have a standard buffer
width of 100 feet.
Detailed discussion regarding the site characteristics including the off -site stream are contained in
the October 3, 2005, Fife Service and Towing Environmental Review Report as prepared by Genesis
Resource Consulting (Exhibit D) and a follow up report stamped "Resubmitted" by the City of
Federal Way on February 5, 2007 (Exhibit E). Additionally, the mitigation plan marked "Stream
Buffer Reduction Mitigation Plan", as prepared by Genesis Resource Consulting and dated February
20, 2006 (Exhibit G'),. contains further information regarding the impacts of stream buffer
improvements.
VIII. DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE OF PROCESS IV REQUESTS
This section explains the nature and purpose of the request to construct improvements within the
stream buffer. Tables 1 and 2 in Section IX, below, analyze the requests under the applicable
decision criteria of FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIV.
(1) Description of Request
The applicant is requesting to intrude into the 100-foot major stream buffer of Hylebos Creek.
The office/garage building, the garage storage building, and associated site improvements lay
within the 100' stream buffer created by the Hylebos Creek (a major stream) that runs
north/south on an adjacent property to the east. The applicant proposes to intrude into the
stream setback by as much as 50 feet.
Staff Report to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner Page 4
Fife Service and Towing File No. 06-102454-00-UP/nog. i.n. 39570
The applicant is proposing several elements of buffer impact mitigation as follows: the removal
of invasive species (such as blackberry) and the replanting of native vegetation to work in
conjunction with existing vegetation. The goal of the native vegetation is to produce a dense
habitat for ground and avian species, shade the existing stream, improve water quality, and
improve the buffer function. Additionally, a maintenance agreement (Exhibit R).has been
reached with the adjacent property owner (Dollar Development Co.) to maintain stream and
buffer -areas located on their property. There are no direct impacts to the stream.
(2) Purpose of Request
The purpose of the request is to facilitate construction of a new commercial vehicle service and
tow yard facility with associated site improvements.
IX. ANALYSIS OF REQUESTS AND DECISIONAL CRITERIA AT FWCC CHAPTER 22, ARTICLE

the property on the eastern side. The siting of the building in its shown location was chosen
due to issues regarding the particular use of the subject property. Placing the building to the
west side of the subject property would create an adverse condition for the circulation of
tow vehicles and the payload for which the tow vehicles are used for. In order to meet
turning requirements for these vehicles, the driveway would need to intrude further into the
stream buffer. Additionally, placing the driveway to the west side of the property would not
place the driveway in the most optimal location by not utilizing an area where the impacts
to the stream buffer are minimal. Mitigative measures are proposed to off -set the intrusion
into the buffer that will enhance buffer functions from its current state.

site plan shows access provided by the easement to the southwest corner of the
site and a driveway extending north from said easement into the site. The site plan
shows a single -story, 768 square foot, three -car garage located near the northeast
corner; and a two-story structure consisting of a 3,280 square foot garage and
2,465 square foot office space on the ground floor, and a second floor consisting of
2,465 square feet of office space located in the southwestern portion of the site.
The applicant will use the site for its main offices and storage yard for towed
vehicles.
5. The site is presently unimproved and located within the Community Business (BC)
zone classification of the Federal Way City Code (FWCC). All utilities to include
sewer, water, and paved street are available to serve the proposed business. The
topography is generally flat and slopes from northeast to southwest with steeper
slopes off -site to the east. Genesis Resource Consultants completed a field
reconnaissance of the project and noted no wetlands on or near the parcel.
However, Hylebos Creek flows in a north/south direction, between 10 and 40 feet
from the parcel's east boundary.
6. Hylebos Creek meets the definition of a major stream as set forth in the FWCC.
The stream extends to within 10 feet of the southeast corner of the parcel, and
Page - 4
measures approximately 40 feet from the east property line near the northeast
corner. Major streams require a minimum 100-foot wide setback which, if imposed,
would impact approximately the eastern third of the parcel. The applicant has
therefore requested approval of a Stream Buffer Intrusion to allow construction of
portions of the business a minimum of 50 feet from Hylebos Creek.
7. Because of truck circulation and turning radius requirements, the applicant must
locate the office/garage building, garage storage building, and associated site
improvements within the 100-foot wide buffer. However, the applicant proposes to
mitigate said buffer impacts by removing invasive species therefrom and replanting
with native vegetation to work in conjunction with existing vegetation. The goal of
the mitigation is to produce a dense habitat for ground and avian species, shading
the stream, improving water quality, and improving buffer function. The applicant
will also maintain stream and buffer areas located on the parcel to the east that
actually supports the stream.
8. Prior to obtaining approval for a Stream Buffer Intrusion, the applicant must show
that the request satisfies the criteria set forth in Section 22-1312 (C) FWCC.
Findings on each criteria are hereby made as follows. -
A. The proposal will not adversely affect the water quality of Hylebos Creek.
The applicant will treat surface water in a stormfilter vault and tie the storm
drainage system into existing stormwater sewers. The City must approve a
temporary erosion and sedimentation control plan that will protect the creek
from sediment.
B. The project will not adversely impact the existing quality of wildlife habitat
within the stream or setback area. The mitigating measures will improve the
quality of the buffer on both sides of the stream, thereby increasing the value
and quality of wildlife habitat. Further encroachment into the remaining 50-
foot wide buffer will not occur due to construction of a solid retaining wall.
C. The intrusion will not adversely impact drainage or stormwater retention
capabilities of the creek. The applicant will construct all storm drainage
facilities in accordance with City standards, and the proposed drainage plan
shows runoff from the western three quarters of the site flowing to the south
and west to the City's public conveyance system on 13`h Place South. The
City's system drains into the Kitts Corner regional detention facility.
Page - 5
D. The project will not lead to unstable earth conditions nor will it create erosion
hazards. The City must approve a temporary erosion and sediment control
plan, as well as the final storm drainage and erosion control plans. The City
anticipates no impacts from site development following construction.
E. The intrusion will not materially detrimentally impact any other property in the
area or the City as a whole and will not result in loss of open space. The City
must approve all site development activities as found above, and the
mitigation elements will increase the functional value of the buffer over its
present condition.
F. The intrusion is necessary for reasonable development of this commercial
property. Approximately one-third of the vacant commercial lot is impacted
by the 100-foot wide, major stream buffer. Siting the building within said
buffer is necessitated by the turning radius of the towing and towed vehicles.
Relocating the buildings to the western side of the parcel would require the
driveway to intrude further into the stream buffer and create more of an
impact to the buffer and stream due to truck maneuvering.
9. Prior to obtaining approval of the stream intrusion, the applicant must also establish
that the request satisfies the Process IV Decisional Criteria set forth in Section 22-
445(c) FWCC. Findings on each criteria are hereby made as follows.-
A- The proposed intrusion is consistent with the Federal Way Comprehensive
Plan, the goals and policies of which include protection and enhancement of
the function and values of the City's lakes and streams. Policies include the
retention of native vegetation within riparian corridors and new plantings
where re -vegetation will enhance said corridors. The applicant proposes
such re -planting along with removal of non-native invasive species as
suggested by the policies
B. The project is consistent with all applicable provisions of Chapter 22 FWCC
and all other applicable laws. The City has reviewed the Process IV request
pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act, the Comprehensive Plan,
and all applicable provisions of the FWCC to include zoning, critical areas,
and Process IV review. The City has found, and the Examiner agrees, that
the project complies with all applicable provisions and laws, assuming
compliance with conditions of approval.
Page - 6
C. The project is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare pursuant
to the review as set forth above. The proposed intrusion and mitigation will
ensure no adverse impacts to the public's health, safety, and welfare. The
project will result in improvement of the Hylebos Creek buffer.
D. The streets and utilities in the area of the parcel can adequately serve the
anticipated demand from the proposal. The buffer intrusion does not create
demand on streets and utilities, but even so, development of the parcel as
proposed will create no significant adverse transportation or utility impacts as
determined in the SEPA review process.
E_ The proposed access is at the optimal location and configuration. The
applicant proposes to access the site at the southwestern corner, a
significant distance from the creek buffer.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
From the foregoing findings the Hearing Examiner makes the following conclusions:
1. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to consider and decide the issues presented
by this request.
2. The request to intrude 50 feet into the 100-foot wide, major stream buffer for
Hylebos Creek satisfies all criteria for a Stream Buffer Intrusion set forth in Section
22-1312(c) FWCC as well as all Process IV Decisional Criteria set forth in Section
22-445(c) FWCC. Therefore, the said Stream Buffer Intrusion should be approved
subject to the following conditions:
1. The stream buffer boundaries established by the final site plan and buffer
mitigation/enhancement plan shall be reflected on all applicable construction
drawings and permits.
In addition, prior to issuance of a construction permit, the applicant shall
provide the City a landscape plan for approval for planting appropriate
stream buffer vegetation adjacent to the perimeter retaining wall.
Installation of the plantings shall be completed prior to issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for the vehicle service and tow yard facility.
Page - 7
2. As required by the Director of Community Development Services, prior to
issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the proposed service and tow yard,
the applicant shall complete all elements of the proposed mitigation.
3. As required by the Community Development Director, in order to minimize
adverse impacts to the wetland and stream habitat, the applicant shall retain
significant trees to the maximum extent possible on the developable portion
of the site. As required by the Director of Community Development Services,
prior to issuance of a construction permit, the applicant shall submit for the
City's review and approval a plan for retention and preservation of significant
trees on the site.
DECISION:
The request to intrude 50 feet into the 100-foot wide.major stream buffer of Hylebos Creek
to allow improvement of a commercial parcel located at 33460 131h Place South, Federal
Way, is hereby granted subject to the conditions contained in the conclusions above:

The average slope across the site from the highest point to the lowest is approximately
10.3 percent. There is a minor slope at the at the southeastern corner of the site
(25.2%).
C. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example; clay, sand, gravel,
peat, mulch)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them
and note any prime farmland.
The Soils Survey for King County classifies the site soils as Everett-Alderwood Sandy
Gravelly Loam, SCS Group C with a small area containing Shalcar Muck.
The Geotechnical Engineering Study performed by Geotech Consultants, Inc. and dated
November 16, 2004, generally classified the near -surface, native soils as loose to
medium -dense, gravelly, silty sand (locally referred to as weathered glacial till) overlying
dense to very dense, gravelly, silty sand (locally referred to as unweathered glacial
till}. These soils are generally consistent with the Everett-Alderwood series.
2. AIR:
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate
vicinity? If so, describe.
No.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading
proposed. Indicate source of fill.
Cut quantities will be approximately 19,500 cubic yards.
Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so generally
describe.
Minor erosion could occur, however, due to the site characteristics, it can easily be
controlled with the institution of the proper erosion and sedimentation practices and the
careful performance of earthwork activities. All earth -related construction would be in
accordance with the 1998 King County "Surface Water Design Manual' and relevant
City of Federal Way addenda.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after
project construction (for example: asphalt, buildings)?
Asphalt, sidewalk and curbing: 59
Building: 12
Total Impervious Surface: 71
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if
any.
Erosion and sedimentation control facilities will be installed prior to commencement of
construction. A piped storm drainage system will be installed to collect runoff. Areas
disturbed by construction, and not scheduled for impervious surfacing, will be seeded or
landscaped.
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust,
automobile, odors, and industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the
project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities
if known.

1. Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of
collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this
water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe.
Storm water runoff will be generated from precipitation failing on the asphalt
surfaced areas and other impervious surfaces. On -site runoff will be collected in a
private conveyance system, treated in an underground water quality treatment
device (storm filter), and released at a controlled rate into the existing system.
Storm water will be detained in the Kitt's Corner regional detention pond.
2. Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally
describe.
No.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water
impacts, if any:

Your December 12, 2006 resubmittal, indicates relocation of water service to the site's southern property
line and within the required 100-foot stream buffer. This particular buffer intrusion was not addressed in
the City's December 27, 2006 environmental decision. Before proceeding further, this modification to the
project must be evaluated for compliance with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) rules_
The previous proposal (resubmitted November 21, 2006) called for an on -site water line loop that did not
intrude into the stream buffer. Please be aware, that since a feasible alternative location of the water line
exists, it is unlikely that the Director of Community Development would support an intrusion of the water
line into the stream buffer as prescribed in FWCC Section 22-1312'.

RE: Phil Waldner / Fife Service and Towing / Mike Hovland Architects,
Environmental Review Report updated by Genesis Resource Consulting (GRC) on
October 3, 2005.
Isaac,
I wanted to briefly clarify the information contained in the Environmental Review Report
dated October 3, 2005 for the above project site at 13'h Place So. GRC has reviewed the
downstream reach of this project site to determine if a qualifying barrier to anadromous
fish is present according to State of Washington standards. Since a blocking culvert is
not a qualifying barrier in itself, GRC has evaluated the site as if the area could be
returned to normal open channel flow. During the site review, GRC believes the creek to
have a 16% gradient from the stonmwater ponds to the top of 336"'. A stream reach with
16% or greater is considered a barrier to fish passage. The stream in this reach would be
considered a confined channel with or without the culverts due to the narrow corridor and
substrate. GRC believes the stream system is not likely to allow fish migration due to the
channel gradient e above the storm water area even if the system was returned to an open
water channel. GRC would further assume that there would be no chance of restoring
this system to provide fish passage as it would require the removal of buildings and road
infrastructure. Again,-GRC believes this stream is a barrier to fish migration due to the
gradient being 16% from the drop at 336"' to 3480'. This condition would likely exist
naturally due to the topography of the area.
I hope that helps clarify the information contained in the report. If you have any further
questions, please contact me at 360-520-2847.

BACKGROUND
This parcel (7681900030) is located near the end of 13`h Place South, Federal Way, WA.
There are no dwellings or current use for this site. The subject parcel is vacant commercial
property. Present zoning is commercial with public sewer, water and paved main street
access. The proposal for this site is to develop office / business space in two phases with
large outside contained parking / storage lot for towing facility.
Resource Concerns
A review of the Critical Areas Mapping has determined a classified stream and critical habitat
does exist to the East of the site. Genesis Resource Consulting (GRC) has made a site
reconnaissance to determine resource concerns for wetlands, streams or other environmental
issues at or adjacent to this parcel. The stream flowing near the east boundary of the site is
Hylebos Creek. GRC has conducted a stream reconnaissance to determine the stream
classification and appropriate buffers as detailed in the City of Federal Way Critical Areas
Ordinance.
Stream Reconnaissance
Genesis Resource Consulting completed a field reconnaissance of the project site on August
15, 2005 in clear and dry weather conditions. No wetlands are known or appear located on
or near these parcels. Hylebos Creek crosses within approximately 15' of the East boundary
of the parcel. Genesis Resource Consulting has conducted a follow up site evaluation of
downstream barriers after further information as been made available from the city of
Federal Way.
The stream profile near the subject property is 3.5' to 4' wide at the ordinary high water
mark with bank full dimensions being 6' to a maximum of 8'. The stream appears to have
been channelized through this reach and is incised with high banks and little large woody
debris. There are some pools and glides for habitat with some good deciduous overstory.
The main riparian area consists of Alder, black berry, willow and hazelnut. During the
evaluation, the stream was in low flow conditions with shallow depth (less than 4") and little
volume. The stream bed is charactetized by large to medium fine cobble with some small,
shallow gravel bar formations. The stream channel downstream of 336d' through to the
detention facility just above 34e is largely underground culverts.
MITIGATION GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The overall goal of this plan is to develop a series of mitigation measures that will meet the
requirements of the City of Federal Way ordinance to protect a classified "major Stream"
while reducing the buffer on an average to 50' from the ordinary high water mark of the
west slope. The present buffer requirements are 100' for a major stream. The existing buffer
at 50' to 75' contains very few large wood species. The proposed development of the site
and reduction of stream buffers are due to the inability to develop this location. No feasible
alternative exists. This mitigation plan will detail tiparian enhancement and mitigation
measures that will provide the same resource protection to the stream at a reduced buffer.
Based on the existing conditions at the project site, the following mitigation measures are
proposed.
l ' Phil Waldner, Fife Service e, _ jw.
Genesis Resource Consulting
The first mitigation goal is to remove invasive species,in and around the west slopes of the
stream reach (Sheet 2). Black berry will be removed (see Integrated Pest Management
section) and the soil will be amended as necessary to prepare for plantings.
The second goal is establish native vegetation conducive with site and soil conditions. This
vegetation will provide for dense habitat cove for small ground foragers and avian species.
The stream will benefit from large canopy species that will continue to shade the stream over
the long term and may provide some large woody debris in the corridor. To meet survival
goals with this vegetation, mechanical augurutg may be necessary to create a suitable planting
substrate for the mitigation plantings. This auguring will be approximately 18 inches wide
and no more than 24 inches deep. Auguring will only be done where no damage to existing
native vegetation will occur. These buffers will be planted with a mixture of native trees
and shrubs to enhance habitat to Hylebos Creek and provide improved water quality and
buffer function.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
These performance standards will be used to evaluate whether the project's goals and
objectives are being met.
1) The survival rates for woody species and desired recruitment species within the
mitigation area will be as follows:
a) Year One: 100% survival of planted woody species and desired
recruitment species.
b) Year Two: 85% survival of planted woody species and desired
recruitment species.
c) Year 'Three: 70% survival of planted woody species and desired
recruitment species.
2) It is expected that the plant species best adapted to the site conditions within the
mitigation areas will exhibit the highest survival rates within additional numbers
of those plant species occurring over the course of the monitoring period and
through natural recruitment. Therefore, the overall species composition within
the mitigation area may change over time.
3) Herbaceous species survival rates shall be based on overall plant cover. The
performance standards for herbaceous species are as follows:
a) Year One: 15% cover from planted herbaceous species and desired
recruitment species.
b) Year Two: 50% cover from planted herbaceous species and desired
recruitment species.

4) Invasive Plant Species:
a) Because some of the mitigation areas currently contain invasive plants
species, including Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor), among others, it
is likely that these plant species will continue to present a management
problem within the mitigation area. Invasive plant control shall be
accomplished utilizing the methods given in the "Integrated Pest
Control" section of this plan.
b) During the second and third years of the monitoring period, any areas of
reed can2tygrass or thistle over three feet in diameter or blackberry (other
invasive woody vegetation) over five feet in diameter shall be removed.
PLANTING PLAN
Plant created wetland buffer and all graded or otherwise disturbed areas with the following
seed mixture:
Annual ryegrass — 40%
Tall fescue — 30%
Tufted hairgrass —10%
Orchard grass —10%
Clover or similar ground cover —10%
Recommended application rate is 8 to 12 ounces per 1,000 square feet.

PLANTING SPECIFICATIONS
*If potted materials are used, densities will be changed to reflect increased sunivability and cost associated with the
mitigation planling.
Source of Plant Materials, All plant materials will be obtained from nurseries specializing in
native Pacific Northwest plant materials.
Planting Time. Plant bare -root shrubs and trees between mid -November and late -March,
when plants are dormant. If planting is conducted outside this time period, containerized
plant stock with extra watering will be used to ensure that plants become adequately
established.
Planting Guidelines. For bare -root stock, excavate a hole large enough in diameter to
accommodate the plant roots without restriction. Plants will be held in place with the top of
the root mass at ground level. Topsoil will be backfilled around the roots and lightly tamped
to remove any air pockets in the soil. For containerized plants, excavate a hole, 1 % times
the size of the containerized root mass and plant as above. Cuttings shall be planted using a
planting bar. Two-thirds of the cutting should be below the soil surface.
Future maisitenance shall consist of scarification (by hand) to keep the 1-foot diameter area
around the plantings free of herbaceous vegetation until they are well established. If the soils
are not saturated, each plant should be watered at the time of planting. Supplemental
watering (3-4 times during the summer season) may also be required to ensure plant survival
and mitigation success.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
Project construction activities in the riparian mitigation area are expected to occur in the fall -
winter of 2006-2007 upon acceptance of this plan. The expected time to complete the
plantings is one to two weeks. All plantings will be monitored during the first growing
season following the initial planting (2007), and then for the next two growing seasons.

MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE PLANS
The following actions will be implemented as part of the monitoring and maintenance plan
on this site:
1. The initial and all successive year plantings will be completed by GRC to ensure that
correct planting procedures are followed and that plantings ate done according to the
planting scheme.
2. Prior to the installation of the plantings, invasive plant removal shall occur. This includes
the removal of plant species.
3. Ground preparation shall occur in sections of the mitigation area that do not contain
sufficient topsoil or do contain excessive amount of cobble, boulders, or fill material. In
these areas, the material shall be removed and replaced with a layer of organic topsoil to
a depth of at least 12 inches. Silt fence shall be installed on the streamside of any topsoil
placement.
4. Monitoring of all planted areas shall begin once the mitigation site is established and
shall continue at least once each year during three successive growing seasons. GRC or
another qualified professional will conduct monitoring during the late spring or summer
time period. A report documenting the monitoring results will be submitted to the City
of Federal Way each year. This report will identify deficiencies in the enhancement
progress and any contingency measures that will be taken to correct those deficiencies.
Photographs taken from established photo -stations will be included with these reports.
Monitoring will be achieved using fixed vegetation sampling stations within areas
representative of the plant communities being established. These monitoring stations
would be used for the duration of the monitoring program. At each monitoring station,
fixed-point photos will be taken annually to document the condition of the enhanced
areas. Photographs will be taken at all locations established during the compliance
monitoring site visit and thereafter each year of the monitoring period from the
established photo points.
If the planted stock does not survive, but native naturally colonizing plant species replace
them, then the project may be judged to meet the threshold criteria for successful plant
community establishment.
6. To ensure planting success, the Applicant will be responsible for performing minor
maintenance over the monitoring period. This will include the selective removal of
undesirable plant species such as blackberry or reed canarygrass that may be hindering
the growth and establishment of the favored plant stands. Undesirable plant species will
be removed by hand or in accordance with the recommendations of the local Weed
Control Board. An area, 1-foot in diameter surrounding each planted woody species, will
be kept free of competing vegetation. This can be accomplished either by scarifying the
area by hand or through the use of weed -control rings.

Phil Wlaldner, Fife Service e, , ow.
Geneses Resource Consu&n$
7. Maintenance of the mitigation area will include irription. If necessary a temporary
above ground irrigation system capable of watering the entire enhanced buffer zone area
will be installed.
8. GRC or another qualified professional familiar with this project shall supervise any
maintenance that is required within the permit area.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
Control methods for the invasive plant species that are most prevalent on the site are given
below. Control of these or any other invasive plant species on the site with the use of
herbicides must be coordinated with a wetland professional familiar with this project and the
King County Weed Control Board. Only persons possessing a valid aquatic herbicide
applicators license shall administer herbicide applications in the area adjacent to Hylebos
Creek.
Canada thistle Citsrum wverise
Canada thistle is a competitive perennial broadleaf weed with an extensive spreading
root system. Canada thistle was introduced into North America in the late 1700's
from Europe. Canada thistle can be controlled by chemical, mechanical and
biological methods.
The above ground portion of the plant commonly reaches heights of 2 to 5 feet. The
roots can extend up to 17 feet horizontally from the stem and 20 feet below the soil
surface, although most of the roots are in the top 15 inches of the soil. Canada thistle
reproduces from seeds as well as from the root system.
The first true leaves from seed or root system are thick
and covered with short, bristly hairs. Leaf margins are
wavy and irregularly lobed. Each lobe ends in a sharp
prickle. On older plants the leaf lobes become more
pronounced and prickles become longer and thicker.
Leaves are alternate on the stem, and base of each leaf
surrounds the stem. Stems do not have spines or
prickles on them.
Canada thistle flower heads are flask-shaped;'/z to 3/4
inches in diameter, and contain many small tubular
flowers. Male and female flowers are found in separate
heads and on different plants. Flower color varies from white to purple; most
flowers are rose -purple.
Each flower head produces about 50 seeds and an average stem bears 12 to 14
flowers. Seeds are attached to a whitish tuft of hairs called pappus, which aids in seed
Phil Waldner, Fife Service c� L ow.

dispersion by wind. Flowering occurs from June through October. Seeds exhibit very
little dormancy, which means they can germinate shortly after being dispersed.
Canada thistle seeds can germinate the year it is produced. Seeds can remain viable in
the soil for 20 years. Canada thistle is adapted to a wide range of soil conditions.
Seven to nine weeks after plant emergence as
seedlings the root system can produce runner roots
capable of producing new shoots. These new
shoots develop from adventitious root buds.
Tillage equipment can cut an established root
system into several pieces, which can initially produce dense stands of Canada thistle.
Repeated cutting of the root system can deplete food reserves.
Herbicide Control Control of Canada thistle with herbicides is decreased when
plants are under moisture stress. If plants are wilted or soil moisture appears poor in
the upper 1 foot of soil, it is desirable to delay herbicide application until after
rainfall has occurred.
The two most effective times for herbicide application to Canada thistle are at the
bud stage and during regrowth in the fall. Herbicides such as Garlon 2-4-D,
Roundup, or Touchdown have been successfully used for Canada thistle control.
However, in order to control Canada thistle, each individual plant must be treated.
Recommended Treatment Rates: Glyphosate ROUNDUP/TOUCHDOWN AT 1
TO 2 qt/acre TWO APPLICATIONS PER SEASON; one in June after flower buds
are formed and before flowers open and a second on regrowth when it reaches 8 to
10 inches tall mid -season or 6 to 8 inches tall in September and early October.
Applications of 1 to 1 1 /2 qt/acre applied twice (initially and then on regrowth) will
be more effective than a 2 to 3 qt/acre single dose.
Persistence is the key to a successful Canada thistle control program. Multiple
herbicide treatments must be used to achieve control. Control measures that can be
used for at least two to three successive years should be chosen.
Siolo 'cal Control' Applications of the beetle CaEdda rubignosa are effective in
controlling Canada thistle. The larvae and adults of this beetle feed on the stems and
foliage of Canada and musk thistle. Ovenvintering adults begin feeding and laying
eggs in early spring. Feeding is continuous until well after the first frost. Plants are
often severely defoliated by this hardy and effective beetle.

Himalayan hlackbetrRarbrrs discalar and evergreen blackberry lacirriatus�
Rubus discolor and K. laciniatus are robust, sprawling, more or less evergreen, glandless
shrubs of the Rose Family (Rosa6we). These shrubs appear as large mounding thickets
with some of the canes standing up to 9 feet tall. Other canes lie along the ground
surface with erect or tising tips, trail or climb up to 20-40 feet, frequently taking root
at the tips.
With proper management, areas infested with R. discolor
and K. lacitrialus can be restored to more desirable
vegetation. Mechanical removal may be the most
effective way of removing the mature plants. Subsequent
treatment with herbicides should be conducted
cautiously for two reasons: (1) both species of
blackberries often grow in riparian areas such as that
those that occur in the mitigation area and the herbicide
may be distributed to unforeseen locations by running
water, and (2) some herbicides promote vegetative
growth from lateral roots.
Mechanical Control
Hand Pulling: This method may be used to destroy seedlings and young plants up to
6 feet tall. Seedlings are best pulled after a rain when the soil is loose. This facilitates
removal of the rooting system, which may resprout if left in the ground. Plants
should be pulled as soon as they are large enough to grasp but before they produce
seeds.
For plants up to 12 feet tall a claw mattock is effective for removing the root crowns.
The claw loosens the soil around the root, and the plant is pulled out in the same
way that a claw hammer is used to pull out nails.
Cutting: Manually operated tools such as brush cutters, power saws, axes, machetes,
loppers and clippers can be used to cut blackberries. This is an important step before
many other methods are tried, as it removes the aboveground portion of the plant.
In addition, for thickly growing, multi -
stemmed shrubs such as blackberries,
access to the base of the shrub may not
only be difficult but dangerous where
footing is uncertain.
An advantage of cane removal over foliage
herbicides is that cane removal does not
stimulate sucker formation on lateral roots.
However, removal of canes alone is
10
l
Pbil Waldner, Fife Serzice e. . ow.
Genesis Resource Co#=Nq
insufficient to adequately control blackberries, as the root crown will simply resprout
and produce more canes.
Hand Digging: The removal of rootstocks by hand digging is a slow but sure way of
destroying blackberries, a weed which resprouts from its roots. The work must be
thorough to be effective as every piece of root that breaks off and remains in the soil
may produce a new plant Such a technique is only suitable for small infestations and
around trees and shrubs where other methods are not practical.
Biological Competition
Sowing native plant species which have the potential to out -compete weedy exotics
for important resources is usually a preventive method of weed control. In the case
of the wetland mitigation area, the native shrub and tree plantings will eventually
grow to a height, which will shade the blackberries and help with their control.
In most cases blackberries prevents the establishment of other native plants and
must be initially removed. Following physical removal of mature plants, root crowns
must be treated to prevent resprouting. Seedlings of native plant species usually
cannot establish fast enough to compete with sprout growth from untreated
blackberry stumps.
Biolo .W Control
The USDA will not support the introduction of herbivorous insects to control
blackberries due to the risk these insects may pose to commercially important Bubus
species.
Herbicide Control
Control of blackberries is the same as that of Canada thistle. The two most effective
times for herbicide application to blackberries are at the bud stage (after a berry has
formed — late spring to early summer) and during regrowth in the fall. Herbicides
such as Garlon 2-4-D, Roundup, or Touchdown have been successfully used for
blackberry control. After initial treatment and wilting of leaves, the understory of the
blackberry thicket should be seeded with a 60/40 mixture of perennial ryegrass
(Lolium pennne) and annual ryegrass (L multijZorum). The ryegrass will establish a rapid
vegetative cover underneath the defoliated blackberry canopy within 7 to 10 days
prior to the germination of blackberry seeds already in the soil, which require at least
20 days for germination.
Recommended Treatment Rates: Glyphosate ROUNDUP/TOUCHDOWN AT 1
TO 2 qt/acre TWO APPLICATIONS PER SEASON; one in June after flower buds
are formed and before flowers open and a second on regrowth when it reaches 8 to
10 inches tall mid -season or 6 to 8 inches tall in September and early October.
Applications of 1 to 1 1 /2 qt/acre applied twice (initially and then on regrowth) will
be more effective than a 2 to 3 qt/acre single dose:

SOIL AND EROSION CONTROL BMP'S FOR DEVELOPMENT PHASE NEAR
STREAM BUFFERS
1. Mark Clearing Limits: Prior to beginning earth disturbing activities, including clearing
and grading, all clearing limits, easements, setbacks, sensitive areas and their buffers,
leave trees, and drainage courses should be clearly marked to prevent damage and offsite
impacts.
2. Establish Construction Access
• Construction vehicle access and exit should be limited to one route if possible.
■ Access points shall be stabilized with quarry spall or crushed rock to minimize
tracking of sediment onto public roads.
■ Wheel wash or tire baths should be'located on -site.
• If sediment is transported onto a road surface, the roads should be cleaned
thoroughly at the end of each day. Sediment should be removed from roads by
shoveling or sweeping and be transported to a controlled sediment disposal area.
Street washing should be allowed only after sediment is removed in this manner.
• Street wash wastewater should be controlled by pumping back on -site, or otherwise
be prevented from discharging into systems tributary to state surface waters without
prior and adequate treatmem.
3. Install Sediment Controls
• Prior to leaving a construction site, stormwater runoff should pass through a
sediment pond, sediment trap, or other appropriate sediment removal BMP.
• Sediment ponds or traps, vegetated buffer strips, sediment barriers or filters, dikes,
and other BMP's intended to trap sediment on -site should be constructed as one of
the first steps in grading. These BMP's should be functional before other land
disturbing activities take place.
4. Stabilize Soils
• All exposed and unworked soils should be stabilized by application of effective
BMP's, which protect the soil from the erosive forces of raindrop contact and
flowilig water.
• From October 1 through April 30, no soils should remain exposed and unworked
for more than 2 days. From May 1 to September 30, no soils should remain exposed
and unworked for more than 7 days.
• Applicable practices include, but are not limited to, sod and other established
vegetative cover, inuk1ling, plastic covering, and the early application of gravel base
on areas to be paved.
• Soil stabilization measures should be appropriate for the time of the year, site
conditions, estimated duration of use, and potential water quality impacts that
stabilization agents may have on downstream waters.
■ Soil stockpiles should be stabilized and protected with sediment trapping measures.
12
PSI Waldner, Fife Senice e, 1 ow.
Genesis Resource Consulliq
5. Protect Slopes
• Cut and fill slopes should be designed and constructed in a manner that will
minimise erosion.
• Consider soil type and its potential for erosion.
• Reduce slope runoff velocities by reducing continuous length of slope with terracing
and diversions, reduce slope steepness, and roughen slope surface.
• Divert upslope drainage and run-on waters from off -site with interceptors on top of
slope. Off -site stomowater should be handled separately from stormwater generated
on the site. Diversion of off -site stormwater around the site may be a viable option.
• Provide drainage to remove groundwater intersecting the slope surface.
■ Excavated mateidail should be placed on the uphill side of trenches, consistent with
safety and space considerations.
• Flow retention barriers should be placed at regular intervals within trenches, which
are cut down a slope.
• Stabilize soil on slopes.
6. Protect Drain Inlets
• All storm drain inlets made operable during construction should be protected so that
stormwater runoff does not enter the conveyance system without first being filtered
or treated to remove sediment.
• All approach roads should be kept clean, and all sediment and street wash water
should not be allowed to enter storm drains without prior and adequate treatment.
7. Control Pollutants
• All pollutants, including waste materials and demolition debris, that occur on -site
-during construction should be handled and disposed of in a manner that does not
cause contamination of stormwater.
• Cover, containment, and protection from vandalism should be provided for all
chemicals, liquid products, petroleum products, and wastes present on the site.
• Maintenance and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles involving oil changes,
hydraulic system drain down, solvent and de -greasing cleaning operations, fuel tank
drain down and removal, and other activities which may result in discharge or
spillage of pollutants to the ground or into storm%vter runoff should be conducted
under cover and on impervious surfaces. These surfaces should be cleaned
immediately following any discharge or spill incident
• Wheel wash, or tire bath wastewater, should not be discharged to the storm drain, or
the on -site stormwater treatment system.
• Application of agricultural chemicals, including fertilizers and pesticides, should be
conducted in a manner and at application rates that will not result in a loss of
chemical to storm'water runoff. Manufacturers' recommendations should be
followed for application rates and procedures.
8. Maintain BMP's
■ All temporary and permanent erosion control and sediment control BMP's shall be
maintained and repaired as needed to assure continued performance of there
13
Phil Waldner, Fife Serz ce ow.
Genesis Resource Consulting
intended function. All maintenance and repair shall be conducted in accordance
with BMP's.
• All temporary erosion and sediment control BMP's should be removed within 30
days after final site stabilization is achieved or after the temporary BMP's are no
longer needed. Trapped sediment should be removed or stabilized on site.
Disturbed soil areas resulting from removal of BMP's or vegetation should be
permanently stabilized.
CONTINGENCY PLANS
Contingency plans are designed to identify potential courses of action, and any corrective
measures to be taken when monitoring indicates project goals are not being met. Table 6
summarizes the maintenance and contingency requirements for this project. In general, the
contingency measures for this site are as follows:
1. Replacement Plantin Replacement plantings will be made throughout the monitoring
period if monitoring reveals that unacceptable plant mortality has occurred. Woody
species will be re -planted to the original number of plants proposed in the accepted
mitigation plan annually throughout the duration of the monitoring and maintenance
period.
2. Planting Plan Modifications —Modifications to the planting plan (i.e., plant species and
densities) will be made if monitoring identifies problems with the original planting
scheme. For example, if annual monitoring identifies that plant mortality is attributed to
an inappropriate hydrologic regime, the replacement plantings should be made using a
more suitable plant species.
Any recommended changes to the planting scheme will be documented in the annual
monitoring report. The addition of any new plant species, not already included in this
mitigation plan, must be approved by the City of Federal Way.
3. Soil Erosion —Any areas demonstrating soil erosion problems will be restored as soon as
possible. If there does not appear to be a problem with the original design, the eroded
areas will be restored by replacing any lost topsoil and replanted according to the original
Planting scheme.
4. The plant communities included in this mitigation plan contain a variety of species
representing a wide range of hydrologic regimes (facultative upland to facultative
wetland). It is expected that as the plant community evolves, the individual species will
become established in the appropriate hydrologic regime. This may result in a plant
distribution that varies slightly from the planting scheme detailed in this plan. This
should not be viewed as a failure unless these variations result in unacceptable plant
mortality or otherwise jeopardize the overall wetland functions and values. If monitoring
identifies that the site is persistently wetter or drier than expected, and this variation is
causing unacceptable plant mortality, then changes in the planting scheme will be made
as described above (i.e., Planting Plan Modifications).

BACKGROUND
This parcel (7681900030) is located near the end of 13" Place South, Federal Way, WA.
There are no dwellings or current use for this site. The subject parcel is vacant commercial
property. Present zoning is commercial with public sewer, water and paved main street
access. The proposal for this site is to develop office / business space in two phases with
large outside contained parking / storage lot for towing facility.
RESOURCE CONCERNS
A review of the Critical Areas Mapping has determined a classified stream and critical habitat
does exist to the East of the site. Genesis Resource Consulting (GRC) has made a site
reconnaissance to determine resource concerns for wetlands, streams or other environmental
issues at or adjacent to this parcel. The stream flowing near the east boundary of the site is
Hylebos Creek. GRC has conducted a stream reconnaissance to determine the stream
classification and appropriate buffers as detailed in the City of Federal Way Critical Areas
Ordinance.
STREAM RECONNAISANCE
Genesis Resource Consulting completed a field reconnaissance of the project site on August
15, 2005 in clear and dry weather conditions. No wetlands are known or appear located on
or near these parcels. Hylebos Creek crosses within approximately 15' of the East boundary
of the parcel. Genesis Resource Consulting has conducted a follow up site evaluation of
downstream barriers after further information as been made available from the city of
Federal Way.
The stream profile near the subject property is 3.5' to 4' wide at the ordinary high water
mark with bank full dimensions being 6' to a maximum of 8'. The stream appears to have
been channelized through this reach and is incised with high banks and little large woody
debris. There are some pools and glides for habitat with some good deciduous overstory.
The main riparian area consists of Alder, black berry, willow and hazelnut. During the
evaluation, the stream was in low flow conditions with shallow depth (less than 4") and little
volume. The stream bed is characterized by large to medium fine cobble with some small,
shallow gravel bar formations. The stream channel downstream of 336`' through to the
detention facility just above 348`' is largely underground culverts. One stretch appears to be
in excess of 900 liner feet. The gradient inside the culverts are roughly estimated to be 12%
to a maximum of 16%.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The City of Federal Way has not fully determined the status of salmonids for Hylebos Creek
but most mapping and literature indicate access for resident and anadromous fish does exist.
The physical features of the stream meet guidelines for a fish bearing water, however the
length of stream contained in culverts with no substrate or roughen channel, as well as the
3

gage 4
gradient, make this an impassable culvert for all life stages of fish and fish life. The gradient
drop in the channel would likely be equivalent to normal fish passage criteria as defined by
the State of Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. This is defined as any confined
channel over 16% gradient. GRC believes the extreme length of culvert stream and the
gradient meets barrier criteria and would eliminate any anadromous access or resident fish
migration. The City designates streams by two categories, Major and Minor. GRC believes
that given the features of the stream and the known information on fish utilization, this
stream meets Minor Stream classification as defined in City Ordinance 22-1306. This
determination would require a base buffer of 50' from the ordinary high water mark. At this
location, this would be the top of the cut bank.
The city does provide for improvements and land surface modifications inside these buffers
if the following criteria are met:
(1) It will not adversely affect water quality;
(2) It will not adversely affect the existing quality of wildlife habitat within the stream or
setback area;
(3) It will not adversely affect drainage or stormwater retention capabilities;
(4) It will not lead to unstable earth conditions nor create erosion hazards;
(5) It will not be materially detrimental to any other property in the area of the subject
property nor to the city as a whole, including the loss of significant open space; and
(6) It is necessary for reasonable development of the subject property
GRC believes a reduction of this setback is a viable option to develop the full potential of
the site but may not be necessary given the site layout. GRC has discussed the process of
obtaining a variance to the setback requirements with the City Planning office. The process
to reduce the 50' buffer would require the submittal of a site plan detailing the proposed
activity inside the buffer, a detailed report addressing the above criteria and the appropriate
city applications / fees completed. There are no additional building setback requirements to
the City's buffers. GRC would recommend a site plan be developed to leave the required
50' buffer in tact and functional without any mitigation. If a buffer reduction is desired,
GRC would recommend a brief stream buffer mitigation plan be developed for the site.
This report would detail the need for the variance and the activities that would be completed
to compensate for the reduced buffer to the stream.
If a variance to the 50' setback is applied for, the client should be aware of the additional
fees for City staff or third party review and the time required for a decision by the City
Examiner. This process generally takes up to 120 days.
OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
During the site reconnaissance, all topographical variations were identified and evaluated for
surface water flow, wetlands or erosion. No other environmental concerns were readily
evident on this site.
SUMMARY/RECOMMENDATIONS
4
Dawid.Lee - Hylebos Creek site assessment Waldner email.doc Page
GRC is proposing to the city of Federal Way that this section of Hylebos Creek is a minor
stream 50' buffer. The buffer may be reduced through reduction and enhancement of the
current buffer. This would require the planting and maintaining of trees in the current
buffer. GRC recommends that the base buffer of 50' remain and development of the site
be done with this stream protection in tact.

Re:
Fife Service and Towing
DearMr. Fewins,
We'd like to thank you and Isaac for your assistance with the proposed Fife Service and Towing
site. The determination of the channel to the east of the property appears correct based on the
information reviewed at that time. We have reviewed the file from the Kitts Corner
Steam/Culvert project for the Processes /, // and Ill and fee/ further discussion is warranted. It
does not appear that the information referred to herein was factored into the decision by the City
to classify the channel as "major'
We understand that it is the applicant's responsibility to present information to the City for
review, comment and the eventual decision. To that end, we offer the following additional
information.
There are several references in the City sponsored studies used to support the decision by the
Hearings Examiner for the Kitts Cornerproject allowing the wetland and stream setback
intrusion(s), the stream culvert, the stream relocation, bulkhead construction, and intrusion(s)
into a `geologically hazardous " area that are relevant to the Fife Service and Towing site. That
information includes the alternative stream relocation study by CH2MHi/l and the wetland
mitigation plan and the wetland assessment by Sheldon and Associates. The references to
Wetland No. 2 specifically relate to the channel adjacent to the Fife Service and Towing
property as the channel feeds Wet/and No. 2. The Kitts Corner decision notes that work near
Wetland No. 2a "..includes installation of culvert to provide for future fish passage from the
existing stream to Wetland 2a',' however, the Hearing Examiner also notes in the findings that
"No fish currently inhabit the stream segment, nor are fish anticipated to inhabit the area above
Wet/and No. 2. The appficanthes prowMadaffernative plans showing thatno ofherreasonab/e
site design exists which would allow the passage offish above Wetland 2, " The proposed Fife
Service and Towing location is above" Wetland No. 2. Additionally, under `Stream Channels, it
is stated that "lilo primary fishery habitat is known to exist in fis reach of the Hy/ebos system
(downstream blockages to fish passage exist), "
The obvious question is: With the City's Hearing Examiner accepting the fact that'No Ash
cun-eatly inhabit the stream segment, NOR ARE FISH ANTICIPATED to inhabit the area
ABOVE Wetland No. 2 `and that `no other reasonable site design exists which would allow the
passage offish ABOVE Wedand2' how can the channel adjacent to the proposed Fife Service
and Towing site be classified 'major"? The Hearing Examiner has clearly accepted the fact that
no fish are "anticipated" to find passage to it. !n fact, with the Kitts Corner project in place, it is
virtually impossible for migration north to Wetland No. 2, let alone past the wetland.

We are asking for reconsideration for the following reasons:
1) We estimate that going through Process 1 V will add approximately five months to the
timeframe for the Fife Service and Towing project and we would like to streamline the
development of this site. Me Service and Towing has had to temporarily relocate their
Federal Way facilityas the srte were in is nowbeing developed (nearPacificHighway
and South 34r) reducing their ability to serve their customers as effectively as they'd
like, including essential services used frequently by City of Federal Way Police
Department.
2) We propose a significant improvement (planting) of the 'buffer area'to the west of the
channel as a part of this project.
3) Like the Kitts Corner project, reducing the buffer to 50' at the channel east of The Fife
Service and Towing property would "Allow for reasonable development potential of
adjacent properties (eliminates the stream setback encumbrance) n- from 'Benefits' as
stated by the Kitts Corner proponent.
We would like to meet with you to discuss the possibility of reducing the classification of the
channel to "minor' allowing Mr. Waldner and his company to more effectively serve the
community in the shortest timeframe as possible.
ifyou have any questions, please feel call me at 253.344.7542. We look forward to discussing
this issue with you in person.
Sincere .
THE H land Compan ts, cro.

RE: Phil Waldner / Fife Service and Towing / Mike Hovland Architects,
Lakehaven project #6106023
The final water plan designed by Rupert Engineering Inc, created an intrusion to the buffer of
Hylebos Creek at the Southeast corner of the lot. This buffer intrusion is necessary to complete the
connections required for this development.
To ensure no impacts will occur with this intrusion, all soil and erosion control BMP's stated in the
Stream Buffer Reduction Mitigation Plan will be added to this location during construction. This
activity is not likely to affect the stream, water quality or habitat components of the riparian zone.
The land clearing associated with this buffer intrusion will be a minimal width for equipment and
installation. All areas cleared, disturbed or graded during the water line installation shau be
immediately seeded and vegetated per the mitigation planting plan.
GRC will assist with erosion control BMP's and direction of activity to occur within the buffer of
the stream. If you have any further questions, please contact me at 360-520-2847.
Thank you!

RE: Fife Service and Towing
13a' Place South and South 336t' St.
South King Fire and Rescue agrees with your letter dated August 26, 2006 regarding the proposed hammerhead
turnaround at the east end of the access easement. Your proposal indicates at least a 35 foot long extension of
the shared access beyond the entrance to the parking lot. This is more than adequate for the needs of our
vehicles. We would require that this area be posted "No Parking".
As we discussed, the building will be protected by an automatic fire sprinkler system. If you have any
questions feel free to give me a call at 253-946-7244.
Thank you,

The Planning Division has completed an initial review of your application to construct an office and tow
yard facility at the above -referenced site. Comments are divided under a heading for design issues, which
will be reviewed administratively and stream setback intrusion issues, which will be decided by the
Hearing Examiner pursuant to Use Process IV review following issuance of the design decision. Please
see comments below.
Site/Building Design i
1. Please provide a letter describing how design guidelines (Federal Way City Code [FWCC 22-1630-
1638]) are met. Specifically, FWCC 22- 1635(b) and (c). Certain measures are incorporated along
portions of the south elevation (canopies, plaza, modulation). My questions have to do with what
parts of the elevation will be visible from the right-of-way given the existing building directly to the
west.
2. Please provide a detail or description of trash enclosure construction. I've asked our Waste
Management Coordinator to review the location of your trash enclosure on behalf of the service
provider and will forward comments, if any.
The site plan indicates 17 parking stalls for the office component of the site as required by code. It
indicates three spaces for the garage portion, but does not specify how this number was reached.
Please provide an explanation. Also, only 5 of the 22 total spaces are available for customer use.
Please provide a discussion of the parking needs for this use (i.e., breakdown of customer vs. staff
parking needs). Include discussion of the 2nd floor tenant space as a future tenant may generate more
visitors than the tow yard generates.
4. Curb stops are required in parking stalls abutting walkways. Please revise site plan accordingly.
5. Please provide details regarding significant trees on site. The survey drawing shows trees, but no
a further information is provided. Please identify total significant trees, retained trees, tree protection
measures, and plan for meeting tree retention (or replacement) requirements of FWCC 22-1558.
6. Please amend the SEPA checklist in accordance with comments made on the copy enclosed with this
letter.
Mr.,Hoylai4
July 18, 2006
Page 2
7. A detailed landscaping plan will be required prior to issuance of a building permit for this project.
This plan may be submitted for review prior to issuance of land use permits or with building permit
0 applications. At a minimum, the site plan should show the perimeter landscaping buffers w/ labels
(i.e., five-foot Type III landscaping buffer).
Based on the submitted topographic survey, the topography of the area just east of the proposed
three -car garage and extending off -site towards the stream meets the definition of a steep slope area,
which is considered a geologically hazardous area. Placement of structures (garage, retaining wall)
or land surface modifications (grading) are not permitted within 25 feet of a geologically hazardous
area unless no reasonable alternative exists and the work or improvements will not create an
increased slide, seismic, or erosion hazard. Please provide a response to this issue prepared by your
geotechnical engineer. As the submitted geotechnical report is based on an analysis of old drawings,
which have since changed, this will also provide an opportunity to review updated plans and adjust
comments as appropriate.
—� 9. Portions of the retaining wall running along the north and west side of the site, which exceed four
feet in height, must be treated to reduce aesthetic impacts. Landscaping, terracing, use of attractive
materials, or contrasting patterns or colors are options to address this issue. Please address this issue
in your resubmittal.
Also, as the wall appears to be proposed in the middle of the north perimeter landscaping buffer, the
location of the wall may need to be shifted south to allow adequate room for successful planting,
which must be north of the top of the wall to accomplish its purpose of buffering adjoining
properties.
Stream Setback Intrusion
10. Please provide an analysis of FWCC 22-1312(c)(1-6), demonstrating how the proposal satisfies the
intrusion criteria.
11. Civil sheet C4 shows significant grading right up to the edge of the stream bank modifying the slope
so that the direction of surface water flow over the slope is altered by approximately 90 degrees. The
grading work within the stream setback is subject to meeting the same criteria (noted above) as for
permanent structures. Please address this issue in the analysis noted above.
12. The majority of the proposed mitigation plantings are off site. What type of arrangement has been
made with the owner of this property? What guarantees are proposed to ensure the mitigation
plantings are not later removed by the property owner or future owners?
13. As an FYI, prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant must submit a financial guarantee
adequate to cover the cost of monitoring and contingency work as described in the stream buffer
mitigation plan prepared by Genesis Resource Consulting, dated February 20, 2006. This aspect of
the project is best handled in connection with building permit submittal.
Review comments (including response to modification request) from the Public Works Department will
be forwarded when complete. Please resubmit six copies of requested materials, a cover letter addressing

Roadway Modification Request; 32460130 Place S
Dear Mr. Hovland:
This letter is in response to your request to modify the required Right -of -Way improvements
adjacent to the subject property, as part of your project. As per FWCC Section 22-1477, the
Public Works Director may grant a request to modify, defer, or waive the required street
improvements only after consideration of four specific reasons. The reasons supporting your
request are contained in FWCC 22-1477 (1) "The improvements as required would not be
harmonious with existing street improvements.. (and) would not be advantageous to the
existing neighborhood or city as a whole'
After evaluating the existing conditions along 13th Place S, on your site and review of Federal
Way City Code (FWCC) provisions (Section 22-1477), the Public Works Department hereby
modifies the requirements for street improvements applicable to your permit application, as
discussed below.
• Extend the existing driveway eastward to a point that allows for servicing of the
proposed project and provides adequate pavement to facilitate the turning around of
emergency vehicles. The driveway width shall be a minimum of 32'. You will need to
coordinate with the fire department to determine the distance that the proposed drive
will need to be extended and turn around requirements.
• Extend the curb/gutter and sidewalk shown on the plan set dated 5/5/06 to 13"' Place S.
• Provide landscaping associated with the above improvements as required by Community
Development.
The conditions of this Right -of -Way modification will be applicable for one year from the date of
this letter. If a building permit is not issued within the one-year time limit, the Right -of -Way
modification will be void and a new request for modification must be submitted. If you have

re:
Request for Modifications of Right of Way Improvements
[7a 32460 IP Place South for Fife Service and Towing
City of Federal Way File Number. 05-102286-000-000-PC
Dear Mr, Miller;
In June of 2005, we met with the CDRC for a Pre Application Conference for the Federal Way Fife Service
and Towing proposal. Half street frontage improvements were discussed on page 2 of the Pre -
application Conference Summary. The Fife Service and Towing project will not generate a significant
increase in traffic volumes and would not justify road improvements at the access to the site. We
request a modification to the standards set forth in the Public Works Traffic Division comments in the
June 16, 2005 Pre Application Conference Summary. The improvements to the 'driveway' we propose
are indicated on the attached site Plan.
The justification for this right of way modifcation is consistent FWCC, Section 22-1544.• "The
Improvements would not be harmonious with the existing street improvements ..and (and) would not be
advantageous to the existing neighborhood as a whole': There would be no benefit to extending this
roadway to the east.,
1) A tributary of the Hylebos lies to the east of the Fife Service and Towing and Shao properties As
part of the development of the Fife Service and Towing site, a buffer will have to be improved to
protect the natural habitat. The properties directly east of the Fife Service and Towing and Shao
properties have direct access to Pacific Highway South. Chasing the tributary would have. an
unnecessary negative impact on the natural state of this area.
2) Topography.• the area to the east is sloped to the tributary of Hylebos
3) The properties to the east would not benefit by extension or creation of a street from 13" Place
South. Anew roadway would not only cross the tributary of the Hylebos, but would have to cut
through existing development east of the tributary. These properties are adjacent to Pacific
Highway South and have direct access/egress to Pacific Highway South.
4) The proposed development to the southwest of the Waldner site is proposed to be accessed from
13" Place South.
The following improvements are proposed.,
a) Extend the existing driveway east 75'to serve the Fife Service and Towing property and the
'Shao'property (the property directly south of the Fife Service and Towing Site). Without this
driveway extension, these properties would be 'landlocked': This driveway would primarily
serve only two properties
b) Extend a sidewalk, curb and gutter on the north side of this driveway from the Fife Service and
Towing Property to the IP Avenue.
c) Provide landscaping at the Waldner property adjacent to the improvements
d) The proposed improvements are depicted on the attached site plan.

Fife Service and Towing will have very little impact on the area. In fact, in the Pre Application
Conference it was noted that no trafc impact analysis is required for this project.
A check for $80.50 for the Right of way Variance Request fee is enclosed.
We look forward to your timely response on the matter Thank you for your assistance.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY
Proposed Fife Service and Towing
33460 —13th Place South
Federal Way, Washington
This report presents the findings and recommendations of our geotechnical engineering study for
the proposed Fife Service and Towing project at 33460 — 13th Place South in Federal Way.
We were provided with a topographic survey of the subject property. Centre Pointe Surveying
prepared this plan, which was dated February 23, 2005. We were also recently provided with a
preliminary site plan showing the location of the proposed buildings. Hovland Architects prepared
this plan, which is dated May 13, 2005. Based on these plans and conversations with Mike
Hovland, we understand that the currently vacant property will be developed with two new
buildings. Access to the property will be via a new driveway that will enter the property from the
southwest. The construction of this new driveway will require an easement from the adjacent
southern property owners. Phase 1 will consist of a one-story office building and attached garage
located at the west -central portion of the property. The office building will have an approximate
footprint of 2,000 square feet, and the attached garage will have an approximate footprint of 2,560
square feet. Phase 2 will consist of a one-story office building that will be located at the east -
central portion of the property. The office building will have an approximate footprint of 2,400
square feet. Both proposed buildings would be surrounded with asphalt parking. An underground
stormwater storage facility is proposed for the southeast corner of the property. No grading plans
were available to us when this report was prepared. We anticipate that extensive grading will be
needed for this project.
If the scope of the project changes from what we have described above, we should be provided
with revised plans in order to determine if modifications to the recommendations and conclusions of
this report are warranted.
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE
The Vicinity Map, Plate 1, illustrates the general location of the site. The rectangular -shaped, 1.23-
acre property is located at the eastern end of a private driveway extending from the northern
terminus of 13th Place South in Federal Way. The property is undeveloped and heavily forested.
From the northern portion of the property (elevation 370 feet), the ground generally slopes at a
gentle rate to the south and southwest. A 10- to 15-foot-high moderate -to -steep slope generally
parallels the southern and eastern property lines, declining away from the property lines.
A one-story office building, Northwest Sports Rehabilitation, borders the property to the west. A
rockery, approximately 5- to 6-feet high, separates the two properties. The main floor of the
adjacent building is at, or near, the base elevation of this rockery. The property to the northwest is
undeveloped and heavily forested. A two-story, single-family residence borders the property to the
north. The areas to the south and east of the property are covered with asphalt parking.

SUBSURFACE
The subsurface conditions were explored by excavating six test pits at the approximate locations
shown on the Site Exploration Plan, Plate 2. Our exploration program was based on the proposed
construction, anticipated subsurface conditions and those encountered during exploration, and the
scope of work outlined in our proposal.
The test pits were excavated on March 3, 2005 with a trackhoe. A geotechnical engineer from our
staff observed the excavation process, logged the test pits, and obtained representative samples of
the soil encountered. "Grab" samples of selected subsurface soil were collected from the backhoe
bucket. The Test Pit Logs are attached to this report as Plates 3 through 5.
Soil Condifions
All test pits encountered similar subsurface conditions. Native, loose to medium -dense,
weathered, gravelly, silty sand was revealed directly underlying a thin layer of topsoil. This
soil became dense to very dense from 3 to 4 feet below existing grade. This soil is known
as glacial till. The dense to very dense glacial till was encountered to the maximum
explored depth of the test pits. In one test pit (Test Pit 5), a 4-foot layer of medium -dense to
dense gravelly sand overlaid the dense to very dense glacial till. This test pit contained little
to no weathered glacial till. The test pits were excavated to depth ranging from 7 to 9.5 feet
below existing grade, and were excavated until the native soils were difficult to excavate
using the trackhoe. Although not encountered in our test pits, boulders are often
encountered scattered throughout glacial till soils.
Groundwater Conditions
No groundwater seepage or caving was observed in the test pits, although they were left
open for only a short time period. It should be noted that groundwater levels vary
seasonally with rainfall and other factors. We anticipate that groundwater could be found in
more permeable soil layers, pockets within the till, and between the near -surface weathered
soil and the underlying glacial till, especially during normally wet winter and spring months.
The stratification lines on the logs represent the approximate boundaries between soil types at the
exploration locations. The actual transition between soil types may be gradual, and subsurface
conditions can vary between exploration locations. The logs provide specific subsurface
information only at the locations tested. The relative densities and moisture descriptions indicated
on the test pit logs are interpretive descriptions based on the conditions observed during
excavation.
The compaction of backfill was not in the scope of our services. Loose soil will therefore be found
in the area of the test pits. If this presents a problem, the backfill will need to be removed and
replaced with structural fill during construction.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL
THIS SECTION CONTAINS A SUMMARY OF OUR STUDY AND FINDINGS FOR THE PURPOSES OF A
GENERAL OVERVIEW ONLY. MORE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS ARE
CONTAINED IN THE REMAINDER OF THIS REPORT. ANY PARTY RELYING ON THIS REPORT SHOULD
READ THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT.
The test pits conducted for this study encountered medium -dense to very dense glacial till soil
generally within 3 to 4 feet of existing grade. It is our opinion that conventional foundations bearing
on the medium -dense to very dense glacial till soil can be used to support the proposed buildings.
Because of the moisture sensitivity of these silty soils, footing subgrades may need to be protected
with a 4- to 6-inch layer of crushed rock, quarry spalls, or railroad ballast if they are wet at the time
of construction. This prevents the subgrade soils from being softened under foot traffic during
placement of foundation forms and reinforcing.
Storm detention/retention facilities and other utilities are often installed below, or near, structures.
The walls of storm vaults must be designed as either cantilever or restrained retaining walls, as
appropriate. Wall pressures for the expected soil conditions are presented in the Permanent
Foundation and Retaining Walls section of this report. It is important that the portion of the
structure above the permanent detained water level be backfilled with free -draining soil, as
recommended for retaining walls. Should drainage not be provided, the walls must be designed for
hydrostatic forces acting on the outside of the structure. The backfill for all underground structures
must be compacted in lifts according to the criteria in the General Earthwork and Structural Fill
section of this report. Trenches for underground structures and utilities should not cross a line
extending downwards from a new or existing footing at an inclination of 1:1 (Horizontal:Vertical), or
a line extending downwards from a property line at an inclination of 0.75:1 '(H:V). We should be
consulted if these excavation zones will be exceeded for installation of storm facilities or other
utilities.
The glacial till soils are silty, and thus are moisture sensitive. Below the upper organic soil, these
soils can be reused as structural fill only if they are placed in dry weather and are at, or near, the
optimum moisture content. Reusability of the on -site sands and silty sands as structural fill or road
fill will be weather and time -dependent. These soils were generally near their optimum moisture
content at the time our test pits were encountered, but will likely be wetter following rainy weather.
Overly moist to wet soils will need to be dried by aeration, or the addition of cement or kiln dust. It
is recommended that earthwork be done during the drier summer and early fall months in order to
avoid the possible need for drying. Generally, this type of earthwork will require hot weather and
grading over larger areas. In confined areas, such as utility trenches or behind retaining walls, the
on -site soils will be difficult to impossible to reuse and obtain adequate compaction. If the on -site
soils cannot be adequately dried or must be placed in wet conditions, imported structural fill will
likely be needed.
The erosion control measures needed during the site development will depend heavily on the
weather conditions that are encountered. Clearing should only occur in areas where earthwork will
immediately follow. Rocked construction access roads should be extended into the site to reduce
the amount of soil or mud carried off the property by trucks and equipment. Wherever possible,
these roads should follow the alignment of planned pavements, and trucks should not be allowed to

drive off of the rock -covered areas. As with any construction site, additional erosion control
measures could be necessary to address conditions encountered during construction.
Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be allowed to review the final development plans to verify that the
recommendations presented in this report are adequately addressed in the design. Such a plan
review would be additional work beyond the current scope of work for this study, and it may include
revisions to our recommendations to accommodate site, development, and geotechnical
constraints that become more evident during the review process.
We recommend including this report, in its entirety, in the project contract documents. This report
should also be provided to any future property owners so they will be aware of our findings and
recommendations.
SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
The site is located within Seismic Zone 3, as illustrated on Figure No. 16-2 of the 1997 Uniform
Building Code (UBC). In accordance with Table 16-J of the 1997 UBC, the site soil profile within
100 feet of the ground surface is best represented by Soil Profile Type Sc (Very Dense Soil).
Under the 2003 International Building Code (IBC), the Soil Class would be C. The site soils are not
susceptible to seismic liquefaction because of their dense nature.
CONVENTIONAL FOUNDATIONS
The proposed structure can be supported on conventional continuous and spread footings bearing
on undisturbed, dense to very dense glacial till. We recommend that continuous and individual
spread footings have minimum widths of 12 and 16 inches, respectively. Exterior footings should
also be bottomed at least 18 inches below the lowest adjacent finish ground surface for protection
against frost and erosion. The local building codes should be reviewed to determine if different
footing widths or embedment depths are required. Footing subgrades must be cleaned of loose or
disturbed soil prior to pouring concrete. Depending upon site and equipment constraints, this may
require removing the disturbed soil by hand.
An allowable bearing pressure of 3,000 pounds per square foot (psf) is appropriate for footings
supported on competent native soil. A one-third increase in this design bearing pressure may be
used when considering short-term wind or seismic loads. For the above design criteria, it is
anticipated that the total post -construction settlement of footings founded on competent native soil
will be less than one inch.
Lateral loads due to wind or seismic forces may be resisted by friction between the foundation and
the bearing soil, or by passive earth pressure acting on the vertical, embedded portions of the
foundation. For the latter condition, the foundation must be either poured directly against relatively
level, undisturbed soil or be surrounded by level structural fill. We recommend using the following
ultimate values for the foundation's resistance to lateral loading:

PARAMETER ULTIMATE
Coefficient of Friction 0.50
Passive Earth Pressure 300 pcf
Where: (i) pcf is pounds per cubic foot, and (ii) passive earth
pressure is computed using the equivalent fluid density.
If the ground in front of a foundation is loose or sloping, the passive earth pressure given above will
not be appropriate. We recommend maintaining a safety factor of at least 1.5 for the foundation's
resistance to lateral loading, when using the above ultimate values.
PERMANENT FOUNDATION AND RETAINING WALLS
Retaining walls backfilled on only one side should be designed to resist the lateral earth pressures
imposed by the soil they retain. The following recommended parameters are for walls that restrain
level backfill:
PARAMETER
Active Earth Pressure'`
VALUE
35 pcf
Passive Earth Pressure
300 pcf
Coefficient of Friction
0.50
Soil Unit Weight
140 pcf
Where: (i) pcf is pounds per cubic foot, and (ii) active and
passive earth pressures are computed using the equivalent fluid
pressures.
* For a restrained wall that cannot deflect at least 0.002 times its
height, a uniform lateral pressure equal to 10 psf times the height
of the wall should be added to the above active equivalent fluid
pressure.
The values given above are to be used to design permanent foundation and retaining walls only. It
is not appropriate to back -calculate soil strength parameters from the earth pressures and soil unit
weights presented in the table. The passive pressure given is appropriate for the depth of level
structural fill placed in front of a retaining or foundation wall only. The values for friction and
passive resistance are ultimate values and do not include a safety factor. We recommend a safety
factor of at least 1.5 for overturning and sliding, when using the above values to design the walls.
Restrained wall soil parameters should be utilized for a distance of 1.5 times the wall height from
corners or bends in the walls. This is intended to reduce the amount of cracking that can occur
where a wall is restrained by a corner.
GEOTECH CONSULTANTS, INC.
Waldner JN 05067
July 1, 2005 Page 6
The design values given above do not include the effects of any hydrostatic pressures behind the
walls and assume that no surcharges, such as those caused by slopes, vehicles, or adjacent
foundations will be exerted on the walls. If these conditions exist, those pressures should be added
to the above lateral soil pressures. Where sloping backfill is desired behind the walls, we will need
to be given the wall dimensions and the slope of the backfill in order to provide the appropriate
design earth pressures. The surcharge due to traffic loads behind a wall can typically be
accounted for by adding a uniform pressure equal to 2 feet multiplied by the above active fluid
density.
Heavy construction equipment should not be operated behind retaining and foundation walls within
a distance equal to the height of a wall, unless the walls are designed for the additional lateral
pressures resulting from the equipment. The wall design criteria assume that the backfill will be
well -compacted in lifts no thicker than 12 inches. The compaction of backfill near the walls should
be accomplished with hand=operated equipment to prevent the walls from being overloaded by the
higher soil forces that occur during compaction.
Retaining Wall backfill and Waterproofin
Backfill placed directly behind retaining or foundation walls should be coarse, free -draining
structural fill containing no organics. This backfill should contain no more than 5 percent silt
or clay particles and have no gravel greater than 4 inches in diameter. The percentage of
particles passing the No. 4 sieve should be between 25 and 70 percent. The on -site soils
should not be placed directly behind foundation or retaining walls. The later section entitled
Drainage Considerations should also be reviewed for recommendations related to
subsurface drainage behind foundation and retaining walls.
The purpose of these backfill requirements is to ensure that the design criteria for a
retaining wall are not exceeded because of a build-up of hydrostatic pressure behind the
wall. The top 12 to 18 inches of the backfill should consist of a compacted, relatively
impermeable soil or topsoil, or the surface should be paved. The ground surface must also
slope away from backfilled walls to reduce the potential for surface water to percolate into
the backfill. The section entitled General Earthwork and Structural Fill contains
recommendations regarding the placement and compaction of structural fill behind retaining
and foundation walls.
The above recommendations are not intended to waterproof below -grade walls, or to
prevent the formation of mold, mildew or fungi in interior spaces. Over time, the
performance of subsurface drainage systems can degrade, subsurface groundwater flow
patterns can change, and utilities can break or develop leaks. Therefore, waterproofing
should be provided where future seepage through the walls is not acceptable. This typically
includes limiting cold -joints and wall penetrations, and using bentonite panels or
membranes on the outside of the walls. There are a variety of different waterproofing
materials and systems, which should be installed by an experienced contractor familiar with
the anticipated construction and subsurface conditions. Applying a thin coat of asphalt
emulsion to the outside face of a wall is not considered waterproofing, and will only help to
reduce moisture generated from water vapor or capillary action from seeping through the
concrete. As with any project, adequate ventilation of basement and crawl space areas is
important to prevent a build up of Nivater vapor that is commonly transmitted through
concrete walls from the surrounding soil, even when seepage is not present. This is
appropriate even when waterproofing is applied to the outside of foundation and retaining

walls. We recommend that you contact a specialty consultant if detailed recommendations
or specifications related to waterproofing design, or minimizing the potential for infestations
of mold and mildew are desired.
The General, Slabs -On -Grade, and Drainage Considerations sections should be
reviewed for additional recommendations related to the control of groundwater and excess
water vapor for the anticipated construction.
SLABS -ON -GRADE
The building floors can be constructed as slabs -on -grade atop existing non -organic soils, or on
structural fill. The subgrade soil must be in a firm, non -yielding condition at the time of slab
construction or underslab fill placement. Any soft areas encountered should be excavated and
replaced with select, imported structural fill.
Even where the exposed soils appear dry, water vapor will tend to naturally migrate upward through
the soil to the new constructed space above it. All interior slabs -on -grade must be underlain by a
capillary break or drainage layer consisting of a minimum 4-inch thickness of gravel or crushed
rock that has a fines content (percent passing the No. 200 sieve) of less than 3 percent and a sand
content (percent passing the No. 4 sieve) of no more than 10 percent. As noted by the American
Concrete Institute (ACI) in the Guides for Concrete Floor and Slab Structures, proper moisture
protection is desirable immediately below any on -grade slab that will be covered by tile, wood,
carpet, impermeable floor coverings, or any moisture -sensitive equipment or products. ACI also
notes that vapor retarders, such as 6-mil plastic sheeting, are typically used. A vapor retarder is
defined as a material with a permeance of less than 0.3 US perms per square foot (psf) per hour,
as determined by ASTM E 96. It is possible that concrete admixtures may meet this specification,
although the manufacturers of the admixtures should be consulted. Where plastic sheeting is used
under slabs, joints should overlap by at least 6 inches and be sealed with adhesive tape. The
sheeting should extend to the foundation walls for maximum vapor protection. If no potential for
vapor passage through the slab is desired, a vapor barrier should be used. A vapor barrier, as
defined by ACI, is a product with a water transmission rate of 0.00 perms per square foot per hour
when tested in accordance with ASTM E 96. Reinforced membranes having sealed overlaps can
meet this requirement.
In the recent past, ACI (Section 4.1.5) recommended that a minimum of 4 inches of well -graded
compactable granular material, such as a 5/8 inch minus crushed rock pavement base, should be
placed over the vapor retarder or barrier for protection of the retarder or barrier and as a "blotter" to
aid in the curing of the concrete slab. Sand was not recommended by ACI for this purpose.
However, the use of material over the vapor retarder is controversial as noted in current ACI
literature because of the potential that the protection/blotter material can become wet between the
time of its placement and the installation of the slab. If the material is wet prior to slab placement,
which is always possible in the Puget Sound area, it could cause vapor transmission to occur up
through the slab in the future, essentially destroying the purpose of the vapor barrier/retarder.
Therefore, if there is a potential that the protection/blotter material will become wet before the slab
is installed, ACI now recommends that no protection/blotter material be used. However, ACI then
recommends that, because there is a potential for slab cure due to the loss of the blotter material,
joint spacing in the slab be reduced, a low shrinkage concrete mixture be used, and "other
measures" (steel reinforcing, etc.) be used. ASTM E-1643-98 Standard Practice for Installation of
Water Vapor Retarders Used in Contact with Earth or Granular Fill Under Concrete Slabs"
generally agrees with the recent ACI literature.
GEOTECH CONSULTANTS, INC.
Waldner JN 05067
July 1, 2005 Page 8
We recommend that the contractor, the project materials engineer, and the owner discuss these
issues and review recent ACI literature and ASTM E-1643 for installation guidelines and guidance
on the use of the protection/blotter material. Our opinion is that with impervious surfaces that all
means should be undertaken to reduce water vapor transmission.
The General, Permanent Foundation and Retaining Walls, and Drainage Considerations
sections should be reviewed for additional recommendations related to the control of groundwater
and excess water vapor for the anticipated construction.
EXCAVATIONS AND SLOPES
Excavation slopes should not exceed the limits specified in local, state, and national government
safety regulations. Temporary cuts to a depth of about 4 feet may be attempted vertically in
unsaturated soil, if there are no indications of slope instability. However, vertical cuts should not be
made near property boundaries, or existing utilities and structures. Based upon Washington
Administrative Code (WAC) 296, Part N, the soil at the subject site would generally be classified as
Type A. Therefore, temporary cut slopes greater than 4 feet in height should not be excavated at
an inclination steeper than 0.75:1 (Horizonta1:Vertical), extending continuously between the top and
the bottom of a cut.
The above -recommended temporary slope inclination is based on the conditions exposed in our
explorations, and on what has been successful at other sites with similar soil conditions. It is
possible that variations in soil and groundwater conditions will require modifications to the
inclination at which temporary slopes can stand. Temporary cuts are those that will remain
unsupported for a relatively short duration to allow for the construction of foundations, retaining
walls, or utilities. Temporary cut slopes should be protected with plastic sheeting during wet
weather. It is also important that surface water be directed away from temporary slope cuts. The
cut slopes should also be backfilled or retained as soon as possible to reduce the potential for
instability. Please note that loose soil can cave suddenly and without warning. Excavation,
foundation, and utility contractors should be made especially aware of this potential danger. These
recommendations may need to be modified if the area near the potential cuts has been disturbed in
the past by utility installation, or if settlement -sensitive utilities are located nearby.
All permanent cuts into native soil should be inclined no steeper than 2:1 (H:V). Compacted fill
slopes should also not be constructed with an inclination greater than 2:1 (H:V). To reduce the
potential for shallow sloughing, fill must be compacted to the face of these slopes. This can be
accomplished by overbuilding the compacted fill and then trimming it back to its final inclination.
Adequate compaction of the slope face is important for long-term stability and is necessary to
prevent excessive settlement of patios, slabs, foundations, or other improvements that may be
placed near the edge of the slope.
Water should not be allowed to flow uncontrolled over the top of any temporary or permanent
slope. All permanently exposed slopes should be seeded with an appropriate species of vegetation
to reduce erosion and improve the stability of the surficial layer of soil.

DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS
We recommend that foundation drains be used at the base of all foundation and earth -retaining
walls. These drains should be surrounded by at least 6 inches of 1-inch-minus, washed rock and
then wrapped in non -woven, geotextile filter fabric (Mirafi 140N, Supac 4NP, or similar material). At
its highest point, a perforated pipe invert should be at least 6 inches below the bottom of a slab
floor or the level of a crawl space, and it should be sloped for drainage. All roof and surface water
drains must be kept separate from the foundation drain system. A typical drain detail is attached to
this report as Plate 6. For the best long-term performance, perforated PVC pipe is recommended
for all subsurface drains.
Drainage inside the building's footprint should also be provided if an excavation encounters
significant seepage. We can provide recommendations for interior drains, should they become
necessary, during excavation and foundation construction.
As a minimum, a vapor retarder, as defined in the Slabs -On -Grade section, should be provided in
any crawl space area to limit the transmission of water vapor from the underlying soils. Also, an
outlet drain is recommended for all crawl spaces to prevent a build up of any water that may
bypass the footing drains.
No groundwater or caving was observed during our field work. If seepage is encountered in an
excavation, it should be drained from the site by directing it through drainage ditches, perforated
pipe, or French drains, or by pumping it from sumps interconnected by shallow connector trenches
at the bottom of the excavation.
The excavation and site should be graded so that surface water is directed off the site and away
from the tops of slopes. Water should not be allowed to stand in any area where foundations,
slabs, or pavements are to be constructed. Final site grading in areas adjacent to a building should
slope away at least 2 percent, except where the area is paved. Surface drains should be provided
where necessary to prevent ponding of water behind foundation or retaining walls.
PAVEMENT AREAS
The pavement section may be supported on competent, non -organic glacial till soil, or on structural
fill compacted to a 95 percent of relative density based on Modified Proctor (ASTM Test
Designation D-1557). Because the site soils are silty and moisture sensitive, we recommend that
the pavement subgrade must be in a stable, non -yielding condition at the time of paving. Granular
structural fill or geotextile fabric may be needed to stabilize soft, wet, or unstable areas. To
evaluate pavement subgrade strength, we recommend that a proof roll be completed with a loaded
dump truck immediately before paving. In most instances where unstable subgrade conditions are
encountered, an additional 12 inches of granular structural fill will stabilize the subgrade, except for
very soft areas where additional fill could be required. The subgrade should be evaluated by
Geotech Consultants, Inc., after the site is stripped and cut to grade. Recommendations for the
compaction of structural fill beneath pavements are given in the section entitled General
Earthwork and Structural Fill. The performance of site pavements is directly related to the
strength and stability of the underlying subgrade.
GEOTECH CONSULTANTS, INC.
Waldner JN 05067
July 1, 2005 Page 10
The pavement for lightly loaded traffic and parking areas should consist of 2 inches of asphalt
concrete (AC) over 4 inches of crushed rock base (CRB) or 3 inches of asphalt -treated base (ATB).
We recommend providing heavily loaded areas with 3 inches of AC over 6 inches of CRIB or 4
inches of ATB. Heavily loaded areas are typically main driveways, dumpster sites, or areas with
truck traffic. Increased maintenance and more frequent repairs should be expected if thinner
pavement sections are used.
Water from planter areas and other sources should not be allowed to infiltrate into the pavement
subgrade. The pavement section recommendations and guidelines presented in this report are
based on our experience in the area and on what has been successful in similar situations. As with
any pavements, some maintenance and repair of limited areas can be expected as the pavement
ages. Cracks in the pavement should be sealed as soon as possible after they become evident, in
order to reduce the potential for degradation of the subgrade from infiltration of surface water. For
the same reason, it is also prudent to seal the surface of the pavement after it has been in use for
several years. To provide for a design without the need for any maintenance or repair would be
uneconomical.
GENERAL EARTHWORK AND STRUCTURAL FILL
All building and pavement areas should be stripped of surface vegetation, topsoil, organic soil, and
other deleterious material. The stripped or removed materials should not be mixed with any
materials to be used as structural fill, but they could be used in non-structural areas, such as
landscape beds.
Structural fill is defined as any fill, including utility backfill, placed under, or close to, a building,
behind permanent retaining or foundation walls, or in other areas where the underlying soil needs
to support loads. All structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts with a moisture content at, or
near, the optimum moisture content. The optimum moisture content is that moisture content that
results in the greatest compacted dry density. The moisture content of fill is very important and
must be closely controlled during the filling and compaction process.
The allowable thickness of the fill lift will depend on the material type selected, the compaction
equipment used, and the number of passes made to compact the lift. The -loose lift thickness
should not exceed 12 inches. We recommend testing the fill as it is placed. If the fill is not
sufficiently compacted, it can be recompacted before another lift is placed. This eliminates the
need to remove the fill to achieve the required compaction. The following table presents
recommended relative compactions for structural fill:
GEOTECH CONSULTANTS, INC.

Page 11
Where: Minimum Relative Compaction is the ratio, expressed in
percentages, of the compacted dry density to the maximum dry
density, as determined in accordance with ASTM Test
Designation D 1557-91 (Modified Proctor).
The General section should be reviewed for considerations related to the reuse of on -site soils.
Structural fill that will be placed in wet weather should consist of a coarse, granular soil with a silt or
clay content of no more than 5 percent. The percentage of particles passing the No. 200 sieve
should be measured from that portion of soil passing the three -quarter -inch sieve.
LIMITATIONS
The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on site conditions as
they existed at the time of our exploration and assume that the soil and groundwater conditions
encountered in the test pits are representative of subsurface conditions on the site. If the
subsurface conditions encountered during construction are significantly . different from those
observed in our explorations, we should be advised at once so that we can review these conditions
and reconsider our recommendations where necessary. Unanticipated soil conditions are
commonly encountered on construction sites and cannot be fully anticipated by merely taking soil
samples in test pits. Subsurface conditions can also vary between exploration locations. Such
unexpected conditions frequently require making additional expenditures to attain a properly
constructed project. It is recommended that the owner consider providing a contingency fund to
accommodate such potential extra costs and risks. This is a standard recommendation for all
projects.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Phillip D. Waldner, and his representatives,
for specific application to this project and site. Our recommendations and conclusions are based
on observed site materials and selective laboratory testing. Our conclusions and recommendations
are professional opinions derived in accordance with current standards of practice within the scope
of our services and within budget and time constraints. No warranty is expressed or implied. The
scope of our services does not include services related to construction safety precautions, and our
recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor's methods, techniques, sequences, or
procedures, except as specifically described in our report for consideration in design. Our services
also do not include assessing or minimizing the potential for biological hazards, such as mold,
bacteria, mildew and fungi in either the existing or proposed site development.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES
In addition to reviewing the final plans, Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be retained to provide
geotechnical consultation, testing, and observation services during construction. This is to confirm
that subsurface conditions are consistent with those indicated by our exploration, to evaluate
whether earthwork and foundation construction activities comply with the general intent of the
recommendations presented in this report, and to provide suggestions for design changes in the
event subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated prior to the start of construction.
However, our work would not include the supervision or direction of the actual work of the
contractor and its employees or agents. Also, job and site safety, and dimensional measurements,
will be the responsibility of the contractor.
During the construction phase, we will provide geotechnical observation and testing services when
requested by you or your representatives. Please be aware that we can only document site work
we actually observe. It is still the responsibility of your contractor or on -site construction team to
verify that our recommendations are being followed, whether we are present at the site or not.
The scope of our work did not include an environmental assessment, but we can provide this
service, if requested.
